The Putnam motions would, in my opinion, if they prevailed, commit the Faculty to a specific general political position which comes very close to a doctrinal orthodoxy. The rationale for such a position is not generated inside the academic world from academic considerations, but would be imposed upon it from without by a particular politically committed group. To be sure, this group claims moral sanction for its position, but so do other, differing groups claim moral...
Nonetheless, the star of the evening had to be its director, Charles Heckschet.

After a very close vote, SDS also resolved to recommend to the group that does gather before the Faculty debate to try to get into the meeting, even if its location is switched at the last moment. But SDS members emphasized that no definite political tactics could be decided upon because no one knew how many students would turn up on Thursday...
